the carbohydrates you will be consuming around your training DO count towards your daily calorie intake. They don't get special consideration just because they are consumed around training. You have added calories in to your daily intake, so they must be accounted for.
I'm not sure where you have read it but there is no way in the world that it should not NOT be included. But anyway that is beyond the point, they need to be accounted for.Thanks for that, not questioning you but I had read that on tkd you dont count the cals from you pre/post feed as they will be burnt in the workout and as I'm in a calorie defict already this would push me further down. Would you suggest a continuing of 2100 cals on workout day or simply eating more and counting them. Max am I on the right path with regards to carb cycling on workout days with tkd?
As with the UD2.0 I haven't read a hole lot but I knew there was carb cycling. I'm new to calorie counting etc
Would you suggest a macro adjustment?
Cheers Steve
Good to hear Joel.
The weight loss was great, but since changing my diet to more of a "normal" eating plan that includes alot more fruit, veggies, more carbs I have honestly felt like a different person (for the better)...and I must say I have never looked so good....
Eating 3-4 meals a day now...heaps more fruit, heaps more veggies, different forms of carbs and different forms of protein and fats...feeling great!
I'm on a pretty much year-round low carb diet. It works well when dieting down to make weight, getting stronger and muscular growth.
I position my carb intake pre workout and breakfast since I hit the gym latter in the day. On days I don't train....I refrain from carbs altogether. Lets face it, the body is damn good at turning protien, fat & charbohydrates ino glucose.
Really, low carb is not the greatest for getting stronger and muscular growth.
Absolutely restricted calories by 300 a day.How often did you refeed? For the record I endulge in carbs on Saturdays (it fits in nicely with my program & personal life).
Did you restrict carbs and live on a low calorie diet, as in below maintenance ? If so, it's no wonder you didn't achieve increased performance.
